## Tips for applicants

- Consortium composition is gating: ensure you have binding letters from partners in at least two other EU member states before submission.
- FWO prioritises raw materials research linked to EU strategic autonomy; frame your application in terms of supply-chain resilience or substitution, not just basic science.
- The Horizon Europe cofund structure means some FWO rules may diverge from pure H2020; check the FWO-specific call text for eligibility and reporting obligations.
